DURHAM, N.C. - Vicki Krapohl scored 18, and Monique Currie tied a school with 12 assists in second-ranked Duke's 81-41 victory Saturday - its 23rd straight over Georgia Tech.
Alana Beard added 15 points as the Blue Devils (18-3, 9-1 ACC) rebounded from an 80-74 loss Wednesday to Florida State - Duke's first in the ACC in nearly three years.
Krapohl had 15 of her points as Duke marched to a 49-16 lead at the break. Currie is the third Duke player with 12 assists in a game. The Blue Devils took a 23-3 lead.
Injured All-ACC forward Iciss Tillis approached Krapohl, a senior making just her second start this season, before the game and offered encouragement.
"She told me I would get 12 points today," Krapohl said. "She looked me right in the eye and said I would get four 3s." And she did, in the first 18 minutes.
Fallon Stokes scored 15 to lead Georgia Tech (11-11, 2-8), which lost its third straight.
NO. 3 TEXAS 75, OKLAHOMA ST. 52: Heather Schreiber scored 19 to help the visiting Longhorns stake a claim to the nation's top ranking.
Texas, which hasn't been No. 1 since December 1987, could take that spot in the new rankings Monday because top-ranked Tennessee and No. 2 Duke lost last week.
Jamie Carey added 13 points as Texas (21-2, 9-1 Big 12) won its seventh straight. Trisha Skibbe had 15 points for Oklahoma State (8-13, 3-7).
ARIZ. ST. 73, NO. 7 STANFORD 53: Jenny Thigpin had 16 of her career-high 18 points in the second half for the host Sun Devils. The Cardinal lost its second straight.
"This game has just been on my mind all week, and I wanted this one so bad," said Thigpin, who also had a season-high seven rebounds. "I mean, we just went in and played hard."
Emily Westerberg added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Sun Devils (15-6, 9-3 Pac-10), who rallied from a 13-point deficit to win their fifth straight.
Nicole Powell had 22 points and 15 rebounds for the Cardinal (17-5, 10-3).
